Our Impact

Overview

 

MIGA's mission is to support economic growth, reduce poverty, and improve people's lives by mobilizing cross-border private investment into developing countries. In order to achieve this, the Agency needs a clear understanding of the development outcomes of the projects it supports. We collect a set of common indicators from clients and put in place a development outcome results system known as the Development Effectiveness Indicator System (DEIS).

In FY22, MIGA issued $4.9 billion of new guarantees in support of 54 projects across the globe. Almost a third of our gross issuances supported projects in IDA (lower-income) countries; 12 percent went to fragile and conflict-affected countries; and 28 percent of the total guaranteed investment of the projects supported contributed to climate finance. While the Agency was primarily focused on the immediate COVID-19 response during the fiscal year, it continued to facilitate foreign direct investment (FDI) into developing countries by supporting several highly impactful projects. Here are some highlights of the expected development results in the host countries.

 

Expected Development Results (FY22)

expected development results

 

MIGA’s aggregate expected development results over the FY15-22 period include over 74 million people gaining access to power. With an additional 60.5 thousand gigawatt hours of additional power generation capacity expected annually, host countries have a better chance of supporting manufacturing and creating productive economic activity that can help end poverty. These projects are also expected to help create an estimated 147 thousand direct and many more indirect jobs, while preventing the emission of 12.4 million metric tons of greenhouse gases annually. Economic activity is also supported by MIGA-guaranteed projects through the expected $1.5 billion in locally procured goods annually and the $27.3 billion in finance expected to be enabled for SMEs and climate finance activities. Projects supported by MIGA since FY15 are leading to better access to modern health care and are expected to enable approximately 21.5 million patient consultations. Government resources are also being improved with an expected $4.7 billion annually in local taxes/fees generated from MIGA-supported projects.

COVID-19 Response

Launched in April 2020, MIGA’s COVID-19 Response Program consists of three stages: (1) the first response, to address the immediate needs of the public and financial sectors; (2) a recovery phase, to support the restoration of economic activity in the real sectors and private enterprise in the short and medium term; and (3) long-term resilience, to support investment across the public and private sectors.

As of June 2022, the program has delivered some $7.6 billion in guarantees across 47 projects throughout Latin America and the Caribbean, Sub-Saharan Africa, East Asia and Pacific, and Europe and Central Asia—$2.1 billion of which was issued this fiscal year. These projects have been highly impactful, helping host countries to bolster their medical response to the COVID-19 crisis and helping governments and private sector clients to mitigate the economic impact of the crisis by providing working capital support to micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs), corporates, and individuals.
